Clearly, the two cameras feature different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The 70D featuring a bigger sensor will make achieving shallower depth of field less difficult and the Canon 70D will offer you more detail as a result of its extra 8MP. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop shots way more aggressively. The newer 70D is going to have an edge with regard to sensor innovation.
